Samsung Galaxy S5 teaser page revealed by O2 Germany

O2 Germany is the first carrier that officially teases the upcoming arrival of Samsung’s Galaxy S5. O2’s website is now hosting a webpage that lets customers register for further news regarding the S5, which is allegedly a "Samsung that can do more." While the webpage itself doesn’t mention the Galaxy S5, the link to it does.

The German carrier says that the new Samsung smartphone will be unveiled at the end of February - and we already knew that, thanks to Samsung’s announcement of its Unpacked 5 press event (which will take place at MWC on February 24).

Unfortunately, O2 doesn’t provide more details - but that is understandable, since Samsung has yet to confirm the launch of the Galaxy S5. The image presented by O2 - a mysterious smartphone seen underwater - might be a sign that the new Galaxy will be waterproof. At the same time, this could be just a random image.

Here is all we know about the Samsung Galaxy S5 for now. Are you excited to see the smartphone finally being announced?

I think ALL FlagShips SHOULD be waterproof. But of course the companys want their $, and release a waterproof and a regular.

No, that's just O2's way of advertising.

My brother, who lives on Germany, translated everything that O2 says about the phone and according to him what they say is that Samsung is going to sell more than one version and 1 of them is going to be water proof... Not all are going to be water proof...

The only thing that maybe new is that he said that the phone will come with the option of plastic body or metal body. But he did not told me if that was only for the "outdoor" model or both the regular and the outdoor model.

Okay, now this is getting interesting... but what's with the English? "Surely you already current Samsung smartphones at top prices" Huh?

That's Google's automatic tranlsation, since the webpage is in German. We added a snapshot of the original page, too.

Not really as the water & bubbles are the logo of O2 so no guarantee it will be waterproof.

Um there's a massive wave of air bubbles released upon a "Samsung 5" device splashing full into deep water, what is it suggesting if not a waterproof phone? Ideas how to destroy your €600 flaghship? lol

Better this all-in-one device than releasing an S5 and an S5 active.

True. Just make it metal, waterproof, top specs, light on bloat and Samsung's HW advantage will make it a winner. Pointless to make many variants when we want all in one.

Sorry... Will be 2 versions. One regular and one "outdoors" which is the water proof one. But they will be available in plastic and with an optional metal body.

Nice to see other phones than Sony getting water proofed. Well if this is even going to be water proof.

It's not waterproof. O2's corporate identity is oddly things floating in water. https://www.google.com.sg/search?q=o2&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=MlP-UsPHJ8HArAeyq4DoDw&ved=0CAkQ_AUoAQ&biw=1280&bih=699

But the google search you posted showed not a single device inside water like in this article... I think Samsung is going to try and tackle Sony this year with a regular S5 that is also waterproof... The reason the S4 Active did not do so well relatively speaking, was because the specs where more like S3... So they should make a single S5 device that can compete with Z1 / Sirius, for that matter...

"The reason the S4 Active did not do so well relatively speaking, was because the specs where more like S3..." Not even close. They have the same processor clocked to the same speed, same screen resolution, same screen size, & same amount of RAM. The only thing that was downgraded was the camera. It went down from 13MP to 8. So no, the Active was not more in line with the S3.
